Song: War begets poverty, poverty peace, peace maketh...

by Richard Brown . A Catch for Four voices , in G major
𝄵 (Cut time)

Text:

War begets poverty,
poverty peace,
peace maketh riches flow,
fate ne’er doth cease,
riches produce pride,
pride is war’s ground,
war begetteth poverty,
the world goes round.
